十修歌
佛光星雲 ( 1927~ )

一修人我不計較，二修彼此不比較，
三修處事有禮貌，四修見人要微笑，
五修吃虧不要緊，六修待人要厚道，
七修心內無煩惱，八修口中多說好，
九修所交皆君子，十修大家成佛道。
若是人人能十修，佛國淨土樂逍遙。

Song of the Ten Practices and Cultivations
Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - , Fo Guang Shan)
English translation: Miao Guang

Practice One: Don't be calculative.
Practice Two: Don't compare.
Practice Three: Be polite.
Practice Four: Always smile.
Practice Five: Don't worry about being disadvantaged.
Practice Six: Be honest and kind.
Practice Seven: Be carefree.
Practice Eight: Speak good words.
Practice Nine: Befriend honorable people.
Practice Ten: Everyone be the Buddha.
If everyone tries these ten practices,
We shall live in the Buddha's Pure Land of joy and carefreeness.
